We’ve updated our GoodReads bookshelf with all the books we’ve got in stock if you want to browse from home.
We’re also closing in the 500 book mark for total number of books donated to our Library!

An anonymous donor has dropped off 12 of the most interesting and diverse books this morning! Non-fiction fans will be particularly pleased.
Since there’s not much space in the library due to our new batch last week, we’ll start putting them out early next week as space becomes available. Thank You kind patron!
Thanks to the help and support of our extended community, we’re proud to announce that Little Free Library #8424 in Adams Hill has now had over 400 books donated to our neighborhood project!
When we started, I expected maybe 200 books in the first year, but with a month to go, we’ve done nearly double that. Nearly 20 donors have accounted for almost half of our volume, and to them we extend a huge thank you. But still the majority of donations come from every day users who simply “leave a book and take a book.” On behalf of all the users who’ve stopped by over the last year and given me their personal thanks or written in our Guest Book, I feel I must pass it back along to ALL of our users who really do the lion’s share of the work.
Keep in mind that this number is simply number of donations and doesn’t take into account overall circulation numbers of books coming back into the library, which, technically, because of the way we work are re-donations.
Any guesses on what the number will be when we hit our one year anniversary on July 28?
We’ve still got about 50 books in the library currently so be sure to stop by and pick up something to read for the long weekend.
Over the weekend we found a great little note in our guest book! Thanks for stopping by and making a donation Sophia! We should have some new books in the library for your summer reading habit very soon…
The youngest minds go on the greatest adventures.

Things were getting stagnant in the late Spring, so with the official start of Summer we’ve broken out about 30 new books for your reading pleasure. Thanks again to all our regular patrons, and particularly our donors for allowing us to regularly offer new material!
Stop by and see what’s new at the Adams Hill Little Free Library!
This morning we were pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised by a visit from first time patron and neighbor Kelly Buller. She left a huge donation of a variety of 26 books spanning fiction, biography, and several other areas of non-fiction. Her donation was so large that it equals the number of books we received on our opening day. What a wealth of riches!
Needless to say we’re turning over all of our current stock so that there is a lot of new material to choose from. We’re also including a donation of three Mario Puzo works from J. Fernandez (a City of Glendale employee, Water Department) on January 27th — the small one and two book donations comprise the vast majority of the books that flow through the library.
In an effort to provide more selection to our young adult readers, we’ve recently added a handful of new books. Today we’ve added three by Peter Hautman including:
In the past few days, we’ve also had a handful of favorites come back home to roost, so there’s some great new selection this week.
The library was starting to get a bit thin up top, so we’ve released some new books which were recently donated by library friend Allison Pieter.
Our GoodReads shelf of available books should now be relatively up to date.
As a result of a huge cache of mysteries and thrillers donated by our neighbor Denise recently, we’ve decided to do a Little Free Library “take over” for books in these genres.
For the week of Halloween from 10/25-11/1 we’ve replaced all the books on the upper shelves with mystery and thriller novels. There’s lots of John Grisham, Dan Brown, David Baldacci, Gillian Flynn, James Patterson, Brad Thor, Dean Koontz, J.K. Rowling, P.D. James, and many others. In all it totals to more than 38 new books in the library today! In fact, it was so many books, we’ve had to make some room on our lower shelf to fit them all in.
After the week is over, we’ll go back to a more balanced selection of fiction and nonfiction that we’ve always had, though we’ll surely keep what’s left and rotate it through the library in the near future.
Come and get them while they’re hot!
